Tall Ship - East Hampshire

Nasty fish, rubbery jelly like skin left on fish and barely and white fish. Chips looked liked they had been reheated and greasy.

I preordeded fish chips, peas curry sauce. Got home not the usual grease all over paper you sometimes get. Fish tasted fresh batter was crisp as were the chips.Credit to the person doing the frying! Will definitely be using again.

A month or so back I used this chippy. All good apart from the savaloy was way over cooked and had exploded a common complaint looking at these reviews. Ruined the meal funnily enough. Tried again this evening. Large chips were definitely a small portion, didn’t taste particularly nice and the battered sausage had a very thin layer of batter. Won’t be back anytime soon.

Have been going once a year for 10 years hoping it would improve as it is the only chip shop in village. Unfortunately worst visit yet. Food in the past has normally been ok except for chips which are always greasy. This time I ordered haddock, chips and Saveloy. As per usual chips were not edible and were slightly undercooked (not sure how this is even possible) they were so greasy you could pick up a handful and squeeze. The Saveloy was so overdone in the microwave it had exploded and looked like it was missing its top half. It was dry and inedible. Fish was also dry and disappointing. Would recommend driving 5/10 miles to next village and getting chips from them. Never had such bad chips from anywhere. Am not going to give them another chance as I am tired of wasting my money and feeling sick after. They should be shut down. Staff are nice and friendly though.

All the negative reviews are a bit of a mystery. I've been using this fish n chip shop for about 18 years and very rarely get a bad meal. Very rarely someone new behind the counter hasn't quite learned to get their act together, but its the exception rather than the rule. Maybe there is such a thing as a bad day of the week to go. In busy periods the wait time can be 20 minutes, but its not excessive. I will continue to use them. I can think of a Devon and Cornwall based fish n chip shop I use once or twice a year that gets 5 stars.
